Directed by SP Hosimin and backed by Vels Film International, Sumo promises family-friendly fun with a unique plot at its core. The film tells the story of Shiva, a carefree surfer in Chennai who finds a massive sumo wrestler washed up on the beach one day. The wrestler, who behaves like a child and doesn’t speak the local language, has no memory of who he is or where he comes from.
Shiva and his friend Jack decide to take care of him, turning his strength into an opportunity for comic adventures. As they grow attached to the gentle giant, they begin to uncover his past. It turns out he was once a sumo champion in Japan, but he was thrown out of the sport due to a controversy. The trio then travels to Japan to help him reclaim his old identity and face his rivals once again.
The cast also includes Yogi Babu, VTV Ganesh, Sathish, Srinath, and Besant Ravi. The music was composed by Nivas K. Prasanna, with cinematography by Rajiv Menon and editing by Praveen K. L.
